aquariusmhall119, ping00:11
aquariusmhall119, if I want to write a music scope with Singlet, (a) is there any documentation other than http://mhall119.com/2012/01/singlet-part-0-2/ and (b) should I use quickly-unity-lens-template to build it even though I'm not writing a lens?00:14
aquariusit's not at all clear to me how I find out what my scope is meant to generate, for an existing lend00:15
aquariuslens00:15
mhall119aquarius: the quickly template is for lenses only00:30
mhall119it can probably be re-used for scopes, but you'll have to do some manual tweaking00:31
aquariusmhall119, ok, cool. YOur blog post says things like "Singlet uses this to build DBus names and paths, and also to know where to install your scope.", implying that I can make singlet generate a .scope file for me; is this so?00:31
aquariusI mean, if I just write a python file which imports singlet and implements a scope, I don't know how or where to install it...00:32
mhall119aquarius: that was stripped from Singlet and put into the quicly template00:33
aquariusah. but the quickly template doesn't do scopes. :(00:34
mhall119not yet00:34
aquariusso... how do I create a music scope with Singlet?00:34
aquariussorry if I sound stupid here, but I don't know what I'm doing. :)00:34
mhall119right now, you write it from scratch00:34
mhall119aquarius: ping me in the morning (my time) and I'll walk you through it00:35
aquariusright, OK. Are there any examples of Singlet music scopes? I have found a couple of examples of Singlet scopes which go with a custom Singlet lens, and Python music scopes which *don't* use Singlet :)00:35
mhall119not music, no00:36
aquariushappy to chat tomorrow though :)00:36
mhall119tthe only concern you'd have it getting the category indexes right00:36
aquariuson the list of things I do not know is htf I find out what a scope needs to return to satisfy a particular lens, without rtfs. But this can wait for tomorrow ;)00:37
mhall119yeah, you have to rtfs, which sucks00:37
aquariusheh00:37
aquariusI shall write a mini qml client for now, and talk to you tomorrow about dash integration ;)00:38
mhall119sounds good00:39
mhall119you should probably sleep too, at some point00:39
aquariusin theory, yeah00:41
aquariusI'm on holiday, though :)00:41
aquariustwo-day public holiday in the UK!00:41
aquariusand tomorrow I might go out and buy myself a Porsche. :)00:41
aquariusso staying up late to write a music player is perfectly rational :P00:41
mhall119lol00:57
dholbachgood morning07:02
aquariusmhall119, I'm not sure when your morning starts. :)10:47
mhall119aquarius: in a couple hours11:21
* aquarius laughs and laughs11:21
aquariusgo away then :)11:21
* dpm chuckles11:52
aquariusmhall119, if you're around at some point, say the word :)13:44
mhall119aquarius: I'm around, but about to jump into meetings14:03
aquariusmhall119, ah, ok14:07
kola911hi guys15:29
dpmhi kola91115:33
kola911umm I wanted to ask something ?15:34
dpmkola911, feel free to ask15:34
kola911I am doing scjp15:34
kola911and am about to take the exams15:35
kola911so I believe that I am capable of making simple application15:35
kola911so I wonder if I can get into any existing java projects15:35
kola911?15:35
kola911to help ubuntu15:35
dpmkola911, sure. We generally recommend Python for new app developers, but if you're now new and are experienced in Java already, you can of course submit a Java app15:38
dpmCheck out http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/15:39
dpmand http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish15:39
kola911thnxx15:39
kola911dpm cant I get involved in group based projects or application development ?15:48
dpmkola911, I would recommend you to read http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/ and the information on the site. It should teach you how to use collaborative tools such as Launchpad to develop your app and get other people to contribute16:02
kola911thnx a  lot16:05
kola911I got it :)16:05
dpmcool :-)16:16
pavolzetorhi, could you help me about IPC in ubuntu18:16
pavolzetorI use dbus, but how do people figure out sync?18:16
pavolzetorfor example, when I call method, find_girl(), which return name, I will not get same thing through signal18:17
pavolzetoris it better to prevent service to send signals while it is adding feeds?18:22
